Too much Sun!

I chose the Sun from a list of all media outlets printing the same story as it would give some the open door to post.

My 6L diesel engine will be just nicely run-in in eight years.

Fake news as far as I can determine and more a product promotion than science study, the blokes not even a Professor, his biography describes has him as holding an MBA which is in business studies, occasional lecturer, his main claim to fame is the publication of three books prediciting the future collapse of conventional fuel and energy supplies and replacement with Solar power, which by sheer coincidence is where he holds a couple of part time jobs........so nothing really to see here, move along now.

Fossil fuels will be around for a long time yet.

All these electric cars will require charging up.
They don't run on fresh air! Now, who's looking forward to living next to the massive power stations that will need to be built?

I couldn't even make it onto a rich list of people that live in my house

 

[Steve and Kat]

I can't ever see this happening in my lifetime.. A Lorry, for example would need a battery the same size of the vehicle itself to power it.. I think this guy has been smoking some funny stuff..

I'm all in favour of electric and hybrid technology but to see this actually replacing all Petrol and Diesel by 2030 is laughable..

No need, we will import it under the channel from the French owned North African solar sites

A house. Luxury! When I were a lad we lived in a fetid swamp in't middle o' road, worked 36 hours a day dowt' pit and when we came 'ome father would kill us by driving his motor'ome backwards and forwards over us. And we still had to go dow't pit next day.

I expect Lenny Henry will be on TV soon then asking us to donate out old solar panels soon then

Little wonder you are poo pooing it Sheldon, from your avatar I see that you will require not one but two new electric vehicles....

Better start the Brexit reversal process now then

 

[jonandshell]

Has anyone actually checked to see if we have enough copper to actually make all these power cables that reach all the way from Africa?

Plenty of copper JandS but it is the rare earth magnets that will be the problem, China has a 95% monopoly on rare earth supply and was employing shady practices to manipulate the market. In the wake of China's tactics, prices for rare earth metals climbed as high as 3,000%.

in china buses and trucks have been using batteries for years .
here tnt did have a fleet of trucks running on electric .
the biggest problem was folk got run over walking infront of trucks that were so quiet . noise machines have to be fitted to them .
the western world is way behind in technology.
almost a third world area compared to other areas.
40 ton trucks work on batteries .

BMW's truck only does 60 miles on a charge

 

[Sheldon C]

Germans already have the technology that does not rely on batteries......

just requires a bit more thought though.

Did anyone see the program last night on the Diesel engine.

It ain't going nowhere peeps, there's just no substitute.

Swamp? Luxury.........

I assume then that the government will be giving us all a tax free lump sum to buy all these new vehicles that I would imagine will be made in China?

Or, as I see it, the mans an idiot living outside the real world.

 

[PP Bear]

Lets not cut the diesel engines.

Lets reduce immigration onto our tiny island-less emissions, improve roads, more highways that allow the engine to reach the optimum temp and thus efficiency, by-pass built up areas, plant more trees for our kids future, design a better particle filter for all those nasty fumes, ban woman driving and the school run - then the problem will be at least halved

Now where's my combat helmet, there might be some incoming
